Oh my God!!! Can you believe it??? The Singapore Idol Final is finally here!!! After months of auditioning and searching, the Top 2 is finally here. Taufik Batisah, 23 year old National Service Man and Sylvester Sim, 21 year old manufacturing assistant, will be fighting to win the hearts of Singapore at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in about... 13 hours' time? Cool man!!!

It's the day to vote for the best of the remaining finalists. From reports and surveys, it's an extremely tough tie, cos the fan base of Sylvester (the rocker) is extremely huge, whereas Taufik (the R&B guy) has a fan base full of 'silent voters'.

The whole nation is getting involved in the preparation of the Finals. Singapore Polytechnic apparently announced that the school's is giving their full support to Taufik, who was a former Marine Engineering student in the polytechnic. Volunteers from the school were even sent out to give out flyers to passer-bys at Orchard Road, in hope that they will vote for Taufik.

Sylvester fans are not staying idle at all, with kids also giving out flyers at various locations, even at the MediaCorp Reception. Teenage girls, whom make up at least 80% of Sly's fans, remain strong and vigilant to the survival of Sylvester in the competition. Reports has it that they are willing to spend more than $300 in votes a week to keep him in the competition.

So, who will win the very first Singapore Idol??? It's everybody's game now. Everything lies in the hands of the voters.

I'll give you a full report of the biggest event in town later on, as I'll be at the Singapore Indoor Stadium to catch the Finals. So if you guys are heading to the stadium, remember to wear pink if you are a Sylvester fan, or white if you are a Taufik fan. Take note of the Red Carpet.

TV junkies, Channel 5 will telecast the event live from the stadium at 7.45pm onwards and results will be out at 10pm. Radio junkies, Perfect 10 98.7FM will be giving reports live from the stadium too. Web junkies (and non-Singaporean visitors), you can log on to the Singapore Idol Official Website and check up on the updates.

See ya guys there!!!!!!!!!!
